EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 3: Ketupa zeylonensis, or the Brown Fish Owl, depicted in an exquisite 18th century painting by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. This masterpiece, created between 1754 and 1757, showcases the remarkable detail and accuracy that characterized the art of ornithology during this era. The Brown Fish Owl, also known as Bubo zeylonensis, is a bird of prey native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. With its distinctive brown plumage, large, piercing eyes, and distinctive ear tufts, this owl is a formidable predator that hunts primarily near water, using its keen senses to locate fish and other aquatic prey. In this painting, de Bevere captures the anatomy of the Brown Fish Owl with remarkable precision, highlighting its powerful talons, curved beak, and the intricacies of its ear structure. The artist also includes a beautiful blue flowering plant in the background, likely an angiosperm, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. De Bevere, a Flemish artist born in 1710, was a prolific and skilled artist who produced numerous works during his long career, which spanned from 1722 to 1781. His meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy made him a respected figure in the world of ornithology. This stunning painting is a testament to the rich history of natural history illustration and the enduring fascination with the natural world that has persisted throughout the centuries. The Brown Fish Owl, with its striking appearance and unique hunting abilities, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
